Democracy Under Siege - This is an important and timely film that does an excellent job of detailing how we got here and what is at stake. We all know what that is, but it's instructive to see it so well laid out. The issues are covered succinctly and clearly. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I had the opportunity to see a film to be released soon. It is "Democracy Under Siege", a documentary funded by European sources. It is a magnificent film that every American should see. Watch for it and try to view it if possible. kinema.com/films/democr...
